    My wife and I got on a white tail buck on state land in Montana once but the buck just stood there and didnt even flinch for at least 5 minutes while we waited for it to step out from behind the brush. I began to wonder if it was a decoy and also why in the world the game Dept would plant a legal decoy on legal ground during legal season and legal shooting hours. I decided to shout "Nice Decoy" and the buck turned and ran for his life 😂

    As a former guide from Trout Creek, Mt. I can say that at times the wardens and law enforcement turned a blind eye. So many of those families hunted simply to make it through the winter. At times like that compassion and understanding trump the deer population. Sorry... A man must feed his children

    Ahaha... Memory time... In Alabama, I used to drink coffee with 4 other gents in the mornings once in awhile. One of these gentlmen, I'll call him Ed, was a game warden. This morning, he was excited to show me his new mechanical deer decoy. I was in awe at how real this decoy looked! This day I was working 3 to 11 and as I was driving home, I see a deer under a well lit sign. I stopped, clapped my hands and nothing. So I opened my truck door, pulled the seat up and came out like I had a rifle saying, "Bang, bang, bang!" I hear Ed say, "Dammit, Yank, get the hell out of here!!" lol The next morning, when I stopped for coffee, I saw Ed and he just laughed and told me after I had stopped, four other folks had stopped and actually shot that decoy.
    Also, I worked with a guy whose teenage son saw a deer down in a small ravine. He swerved off the road, int that small ravine and smashed the decoy AND his dad's truck!! Yeah, he didn't hunt or drive for quite awhile!! lmbo! You cannot make this stuff up!!! lol

      It’s Montana so it’s even odds that it’s government (taxpayer) land. In my state, on public you need to be 100’ from the centerline of a maintained road to be legal, but in some states it’s legal to hunt from roads just not vehicles.

  • @HOFERBOY71

    Call me a poacher or whatever you want but the kid that shot from the fence I honestly wouldn’t have an issue with, hear me out, he wasn’t shooting ACROSS a traveled roadway he got out went to the fence and used the post to take a steady shot. The argument that if he would have been on the other side of the fence is absurd, being 16” on the other side makes it ok give me a break. I’m sure there is a rule on the distance they have to be from a roadway but in this case him saying he needed to be on the other side is asinine. Then to argue “well it’s unfair for the animal because they were hunting from a vehicle.” They were traveling in their vehicle, more than likely been hunting all day without success, then seen a very nice size legal buck and took a shot. You hear everyone say when they score a big one “ ya I was lucky just happened to be in the right place at the right time” in my opinion I don’t see how that situation was any different, they happened to be in the right place at the right time. Now I’m sure I’ll get called out “i can only imagine how many animals you’ve poached” and my response is I haven’t even taken game in the past 2 years I’ve been hunting because I have been wanting my wife to get something nice and legal. So before I get bashed for this I’m just expressing my opinion, I would say nail them to the cross if they were shooting out the window or at night with a light but that’s not what happened.

      How many animals have you poached?! Seriously though, I live on Long Island. I've seen south american "immigrants" fishing our lakes and keep EVERY FISH. Small sunfish, anything. I've seen Asians crabbing and keep EVERY CRAB. TINY blueclaws, male, female, didn't matter to them. It's crazy how some people will fish. Real criminal poachers are disgustingly brazen.
      That BEAST of a 15 year old (what a big boy!) steadied his shot on a post... Honestly in practice it was more responsible than a 250lb young man trying to hop barbed wire and shoot free standing. The warden essentially instructing him to hop the fence next time was a wild suggestion imo. As far as I'm concerned if you have tags for the beast and it's on land legal to hunt... the game should be fair game. Arbitrary rules followed by a court date and a lecture are patronizing. The 15 year old will now fear retribution from game wardens, but not respect them.

    In Maine, pavement is what defines a road. Dirt, no matter the purpose is considered unimproved and legal to shoot from.

      Just like Michigan. You just have to load the weapon after you exit the vehicle.

    If the orange vests are legitimately for safety concerns, then why don't the wardens need to wear them while in the woods on public property?

    1. I'm not a road hunter and truly believe in fair chase yet also believe that if its legal a hunter can take game how they want.
    2. That 15 year old kid was off of the roadway.
    3. Years ago an acquaintance of mine and his friend were driving out to their deer camp mid morning and spotted a clear DNR poaching set-up with a Whitetail decoy. The were stopped by the DNR and asked some questions because they slowed down. When they got to the cabin they told the others what had happened. It infuriated one of the camp members who took his shotgun and a ton of buckshot, drove to the site, got out of his vehicle, did everything right but then ran out into the field and just unloaded at the decoy and reloaded and shot more as the DNR were running towards him trying to get him to stop shooting.
    He is actually deaf so he probably couldn't hear the DNR trying to get him to stop shooting.
    He destroyed that decoy.😂

      @@nickk964not entrapment. Entrapment means you get someone to do something they wouldn’t normally do. If you shoot a decoy buck thinking it’s a real buck somewhere it’s illegal to shoot, you attempted to poach. Nobody made you do something you wouldn’t normally.
